hear" that there was none of that old time crowd spirit, which
when analyzed means rich enthusiasm, deep interest and very
often, patriotic thrills.
Of course, we are for the amplifiers, the radio apparatus and
everything that is new. I5ut the fact remains that thousands did
not stir 'from their homes in and around Portland because they
could hear the nation's chief over their radios, and those who did
go to Multnomah field failed to imbibe that zip and hurrah which
was so pronounced at Meachani, and all because the amplifiers
made it too easy to hear Mr. Harding in Portland.

All ye who flirt with dame fortune, all ye who riffle the cards
find spin the wheel and play the races, take notice! A French
savant is on the trail of knowledge of the future, whereby he can
make gambling a science. What a chance for a "killing," if the
ability to read the future should be restricted to a few favored
cues. Think of the disastrous consequences that would come from
wagcrjng on the outcome of game or race against one who knew
. in advance exactly what would happen! Knowledge of the future
would give a wager the dignity of an investment, with large re
turn assured.
Pending further developments, however, the play will go on.
The rep'.rt from France may be startling lo those who swallow
such items whole, but is not so to those who, from their reading
of history, recall that, since recorded time began till now, prac
tically every generation has brought forth soothsayers with claims
of future sight. While skillful guessing enabled many of these
"seers" to make out a prima facie case for their claims, no human
being lias yet pioved possession of such a gilt. If the French
savant should now demonstrate that he knows what will happen
before- ithappens, his name will become more famous than that
of any man who ever lived.

VACATION TIME IS
SWIMMING TIME
Swimming builds up strong, healthy bodies quicker
than any other sport.
Better bathing suits are in demand because people
find that a well made woolen suit is best and cheapest in
the end.
This is just the sort of suits we have to offer Jant
zens, Bradleys or WillWite in the new color combinations.
There is a smart assortment of new bathing caps too.
See the window display.
It is every parent's duty to teach their
children to swim.
Strange as it may seem the best way to
start the. youngster out is with their clothes
on shoes and all.
Maintain this rule until, the child is quite
able to navigate under thesq conditions and
